re: Facts about Les Miles (Alabama related) - Let's talk this out edition

You think recruiting is a one-man game? Different recruiting sites split ranking the #1 recruit between crob and Leonard Fournette, who is leaning heavy toward LSU. There are also a few 5 stars ready to sign with us, and other top-50 prospects as well. Do you ever visit the recruiting board? Ever? Or are you one of those that just read CRob chose Bama over LSU on the Rant and thought that was our recruiting class out the window?

If you follow recruiting, you know that nothing is certain with 18 year olds until that fax is sent. Theres a decent chance that LSU loses 5 games this year. That could have a negative effect on recruiting.

You don't think he had anything to do with it? Let's face it, the playing down to your opponents is a hallmark of a Les team. Also, there was a weird time management issue in the game, and while it did not necessarily cause the loss, do you really want to excuse yet another Les clock snafu?

Not that i'm whole hardily disagreeing with you here but if you follow recruiting (which I know you do) you know there isn't a direct correlation with teams losing games to recruits becoming disinterested in the program. LSU had a number one recruiting class in 2009 (I believe) after they had just went 8-5.

I don't even want to think about it. The bowl win issue used to be a HUGE talking point for the Les fanatics, and yet here we are, facing the possibility that LSU could lose it third post-season game in a row.

I understand that and i do believe we will have a great class. However, i would not be shocked if our class is not up to everyones expectations.
